Highlights
Processor: NXP i.MX6
Board: An OTS SBC made by Digi connected to a custom board that contains GPIO expanders to control valves and relays, an ADC to monitor water pressure, a temperature sensor and several network interfaces including Ethernet, WiFi, Cellular and Satellite.
Software: Based on Linux, this system uses the MapleLeaf Station Management System (SMS) to manage the many controllers that have been deployed to customers. MapleLeaf did the board bring-up for the controller board integrating that board with the Digi SBC. The SMS software manages the controller communications with the server but, in addition, we designed software components to manage the network interfaces including the interface failover processing as well as the relay and valve management associated with the controller.

In addition MapleLeaf developed tablet software to connect to the main system via WiFi-Direct, display most aspects of the main unit display and stream video data from the main unit to allow the user to view and record the X-Ray data.

Description
Used in hotels and professional cleaning companies, this system monitors commercial washing machines for machine faults, water usage and chemical usage.

Highlights
Processor: Freescale i.MX6
Board: An OTS SBC made by Eurotech and integrated into an enclosure that contains ADC channels for monitoring the washing machine cycles and chemical usage.
Software: Based on Linux, MapleLeaf was originally tasked to stabilize the system that had already been deployed to the field but was failing. The original monitoring software was written in Java and, combined with Eurotech software (also written in Java) the software was consuming large amounts of memory and frequently crashing causing loss of data associated with the washing machine cycles. Remote access was provided through Eurotech software but was also unreliable and many times required a technician to visit the site to reboot the system.
MapleLeaf first assessed the errors, added a system monitor to detect the errors and then, when errors occurred, either restarted the offending software or automatically rebooted the system for the more severe errors. We then used the MapleLeaf Station Management System (SMS) as a basis to redesign the cycle monitoring functionality. Once design was complete the monitoring was implemented in C for a very efficient and maintainable software configuration. SMS provided reliable remote access as well as software update capability that afforded the ability to then make enhancements to the system and deploy those enhancements in a quick and reliable manner.

Description

Highlights
Processor: Freescale i.MX6
Board: Custom board with a touchscreen display and an Aptina MT9P031 camera.
Software: Based on Linux, MapleLeaf did the board-bringup of the custom board configuration as well as the camera driver integration. For this project the customer was developing the user interface but MapleLeaf setup the Qt framework, some example Qt applications and then trained the custom in how to develop their user interface in the context in Qt. We also integrated a QtGStreamer configuration to support the camera processing to the display.

Description
This project was an enhancement to an existing WiFi monitoring system that is a cloud-based platform for continuously monitoring wireless networks and identifying elusive performance issues that impact network performance.

Highlights
Software: Based on Linux, this customer had an existing system capable of monitoring WiFi environments and needed help to automate some of the more complex WiFi authentication schemes. MapleLeaf enhanced their system to automate certificate enrollment and retrieval support for EAP-TLS authentication. The automation was implemented using SCEP in conjunction with Microsoft’s Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES). This implementation involved the design of an agent responsible for interacting between a Microsoft Server and the customer system to facilitate private key generation, certificate signing request, CA retrieval and certificate enrollment and then passing this information back to the customer system. The Java-based server and UI also required enhancements to support this functionality. Additionally the agent was responsible for monitoring the CA and client certificates to perform automatic renewal as the certificates neared expiration.

Description
This project is an enhancement to a new audio conferencing system being developed by the customer.

Highlights
Processor: TI OMAP
Board: Custom board
Software: Based on Linux, this customer had an existing custom board that had a microcontroller communicating via UART to a microprocessor. However the communication path was too slow to meet the system requirements. A SPI bus connection also existed between the two processors and the customer hoped to use that bus to speed up the communication. The unusual part of this project was that the microcontroller was to be the SPI master and the microprocessor, running Linux, was to be the SPI slave, something not supported by the mainstream Linux kernel. MapleLeaf designed and developed Linux SPI slave driver support and integrated that support with the existing application.

Description

Successful validation unlocks the hotel room door.

Highlights
Processor: TI AM3352
Board: Custom board that included Bluetooth LE, touchscreen display, camera and WiFi.
Software: Based on Linux, this system uses the MapleLeaf Station Management System (SMS) to manage the many stations that have been deployed to customers.
